Summary/Abstract: Resources for financing activities of an entity are collected from different sources, among which are credits and loans. Assessment of a financial situation of the entity is the basis for granting a credit or loan. It determines the ability of a bank to get involved in financing the entity’s activity. If a borrower is not able to pay off the debt, he has a possibility to ask for a debt restructuring.
